UPCOMING DATE AND TIME:
- Tue, Jun 9, 2026 - Thu, Jun 11, 2026
How do the arts heal what is injured, repair what is broken, restore what is lost, and provide spaces for well-being? How can the practices of artmaking also serve as processes of healing ? How can the care we offer to students be extended to ourselves, our communities, our nation, and our planet?
The 2026 Institute for Creative Teaching (ICT) is intended to provide a place of safety, kindness, and acceptance for us all to take time to replenish, to allow the influx of healing new ideas, and to experience the power that comes from making and being listened to. You’ll be joined by keynote speakers Danielle SeeWalker and Eiko Otake, alongside other teaching artists and practitioners who will lead you through this restorative hands-on experience.
ICT 2026 will take place June 9th to 11th, 2026 at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC). This program is open to educators of all subject areas and grade levels. Participants will earn up to 21 hours toward educator re-licensure and will have the option of registering for 1 continuing education graduate credit from UNC for a small additional fee.
Additionally, we’re thrilled to share that we’re teaming up with Education in Motion to this year! Education in Motion is a four-day, interactive seminar hosted at Colorado State University and led by CSU Dance faculty, regional educators, and guest artists. This immersive experience explores practical strategies and tools for integrating movement into learning across all grade levels and content areas. The seminar is open to all Colorado PK–12 educators and administrators. As a special benefit, ICT participants will receive an exclusive 25% discount on registration for the Education in Motion Professional Development Seminar.
